Sitters

“Faster than fairies, faster than witches, 

Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;

 
And charging along like troops in a battle, 

All through the meadows the horses and cattle: 

All of the sights of the hill and the plain

Fly as thick as driving rain; 

And ever again, in the wink of an eye, 

Painted stations whistle by …”.            

Robert Louis Stevenson
